Yeah, I had a similar problem with a friend visiting the US again and forgot to bring his currently active prepay T-Mobile SIM.

He stopped in a mall near the airport to have his prepay account switched to a new SIM and they tried to sell him a phone. That's when I had to explain to him that the mall kiosks are 3rd parties reselling T-Mobile services and are not actual T-Mobile stores.

I took him to an actual T-Mobile store and they had him set up in a few minutes.

Using firewire for external hard drives and other tech came long after firewire/i.link was added to video cameras.

Also keep in mind that Comcast keeps the serial number for that modem in their database, so if you try to sell it or give to someone else to use on Comcast they will refuse to activate it and accuse the new owner of being a thief Even when you are no longer a Comcast customer and haven't used the modem with them for over 12 months.

There are.. FOUR lights!

A holographic doctor isn't holodeck ridiculousness?

Skynet becomes self aware in 3 2 1...

That would be a 2006 Mac mini. You are complaining about upgrading from an 8 year old computer?

And yet Comcast is rolling out IPv6. I'm on IPv6 at home today.

I recently had a 1.5TB drive die and it was still new enough to be under warranty. Seagate shipped a 2TB as a replacement.
